Welcome to IAABO Play Book+
|
This video was developed by IAABO to show the Casebook in a visual format and help officials learn the rules by seeing them applied.
You, the viewer, can decide how best to enjoy the video.
For individuals who want to understand the play situation, the clip contains a title page, casebook page, and a "Key Concepts" page that outlines the play situation and the pertinent rules that apply to the play depicted. Each of these pages will stay on the screen for 3 seconds. The viewer should "pause" the video on any of the pages to have the necessary time to read the information.
If you want to get right to the video clip, move your cursor to the 9-second mark, watch the play, and see if you can determine the correct ruling. The clip will play a second time. This time, the clip will provide a “Play Analysis” by outlining the correct ruling and key concepts that affect the correct ruling.
To see more plays like this, log onto the “Members Area” on the IAABO website at https://www.iaabo.org and you will have access to the entire Video Playbook database.

Working the Trail
(Ball below free throw line)
(IAABO Manual pgs. 37, 155)
|
|
Far too often in today's game, the Trail official is positioned far too deep (toward the division line) to be effective. In an attempt to encourage Trail officials to be in a better position, IAABO has added this graphic to both the Crew of 2 and Crew of 3 manuals this year.
The Trail should be "sideline-oriented" and avoid the area between the top of the coaching box extended and the division line – unless it is necessary to get an open look between a match-up within their PCA.
In both a Crew of 2 and a Crew of 3, when the ball advances below the free-throw line extended, the Trail should be at or moving toward their initial starting position at the sideline, 28 feet from the endline.
This should not imply that we have eliminated the concept of "working the arc" in a Crew of 2. When the ball is across the basket line, in the Trail's PCA, the Trail shall position-adjust and focus on the ball and players in his/her PCA. When the ball leaves the Trail's PCA, the Trail then needs to position-adjust back toward the initial starting position at the sideline.
In both a Crew of 2 and a Crew of 3, the purpose of adding this graphic is to improve coverage on drives to the basket, perimeter shot attempts, and rebounding coverage.
Officials should not use the excuse, "I don't want to get beat," as the new Lead in transition as a reason to be positioned near the division line. In our game today, the Trail "is getting beat" on numerous frontcourt possessions by having bad angles on match-ups in their PCA.
The Trail being positioned too deep near the division line is far more prevalent and problematic than getting beat in transition. Keep in mind; there is an effective manual-based floor mechanic for the new Lead to "get beat" in transition on manual pages 33,153 in the IAABO manual.
